Vintage women’s brooches are shimmering reminders of the femininity and grace of past eras
Charm, elegance and sophistication all seem to come to mind when you think of a woman’s brooch. Whether it’s the pin your grandmother wore on her Sunday suit or a brooch you carried on your wedding day, the nostalgic meaningfulness the pieces hold is often greater than any monetary value.
For Little Rock collector Kathy Sweere, brooches are a natural extension of her lifelong love affair with clothes and accessories.

Vintage cuisine collectibles are a Maumelle woman’s recipe for happiness
Nancy Sills is the curator of numerous collections, perhaps none more prized or enjoyed than her vintage and antique kitchen wares. From ceramic crocks and traditional wooden bread boards to rolling pins and baking tins, her own kitchen is home to a variety of cooking collectibles. “I keep my collections out on display so we can enjoy them,” says Sills, who resides in Maumelle with her husband Adrian who also likes antiques.
Indeed the displays are enjoyable for all who enter. Sills’ kitchen has all the charm of a 1940s general store alongside typical modern day conveniences. Along with the aforementioned items, you’ll also find her collections of Yellowware bowls, baskets, sugar buckets, creamers and textiles among the mix.
